Baltic Scientific Instruments Si(Li) Detector

spec release 6.02.9 supports the Baltic Scientific Instruments Si(Li) Detector type SER-25 based on the SP350 controller board. The device is configured as an MCA-type instrument and uses a serial interface. See the bsi_sp350 help file for details.

Preliminary support for HDF5 file saving

Experiments need to be configurable and flexible. Speed and ease are even more important with the
limited beam time at a synchrotron. spec's quick and simple configuration
and powerful (but easy to use) macro language create an ideal environment to set up new
experiments as well as to manage routine measurements.
